Ubuntu Membership

Well, it's official. I've added myself to the chopping block. I'm asking for Ubuntu Membership on Jan 9th at 2pm. This is a big step for me, as Ubuntu has become my lifeblood. Yes. Essentially, my second wife. 🙂

Applying for membership isn't easy, and I feel that I still have so long before I really would call myself prepared for this. In order to apply, I need to show that I have given significantly to the Ubuntu community with a sustained effort. I feel that I have given back to the community, but I always feel like I could be doing more. The biggest contributions that I have made, have been along the lines of advocacy. The major contributions that I have made:

Distributed 1,000 Ubuntu CDs since the release of Warty.

Distributed 25 Edubuntu CDs to the Weber County School District.

Mailed out 10 Ubuntu CDs with Christmas cards for the 2006 Holiday Season (thanks Tristan for the idea).

I look back at my involvement with Ubuntu, what it has given me, and what I have given back. People who know me, know that I can't live without it, and I can't keep talking about it. Ubuntu is my passion, and my way of life, and I just wish I could convert the world to see the same point of view. I've become an Ubuntu missionary, of sorts.

I hope the Ubuntu Community Council will recognize my efforts in the Ubuntu community, and as such grant membership. If not, I hope to have feedback at what I can do better- where I can improve.
